How GST works in Australia

GST stands for Goods and Services Tax. In Australia, the standard GST rate is 10% and applies to most goods and services sold by registered businesses. If you are running a business, creating invoices, lodging BAS, or checking supplier bills, it is important to know whether a price is GST-inclusive or GST-exclusive.

This GST calculator helps you do the math instantly so you can avoid manual errors and keep your pricing clear.

What this calculator can do

  • Add GST: Start with a GST-exclusive amount and calculate the total including GST.
  • Remove GST: Start with a GST-inclusive amount and extract the pre-GST value.
  • Find GST only: Identify just the GST component from inclusive or exclusive prices.
  • Use custom rates: While Australia uses 10%, you can test other rates if needed.

GST formulas you should know

1) Add GST to a price

GST amount = Exclusive price × 10%

Inclusive price = Exclusive price + GST amount

Example: $100 exclusive → GST $10 → total $110 inclusive.

2) Remove GST from a total

Exclusive price = Inclusive price ÷ 1.10

GST amount = Inclusive price − Exclusive price

Example: $110 inclusive → exclusive $100 → GST $10.

3) Calculate GST-only from inclusive amount

GST amount = Inclusive price × 10 ÷ 110

This is useful when a bill shows only a total and you need the GST share.

GST calculator Australia: quick tips

Always confirm if a price includes GST

In contracts, online listings, and wholesale quotes, prices may appear in different formats. A common source of mistakes is assuming a figure includes GST when it does not.

Round carefully

In accounting workflows, cent-level rounding can affect totals across many transactions. Keep a consistent method in your invoicing and reporting tools.

Use this tool for checks, then record in your system

A calculator is excellent for validation, but your accounting platform should remain the source of truth for official records.
